The FFI Gulf Coast Council will host our 2nd annual Sweetwater Classic fly fishing festival and freshwater tournament this Spring on lovely Percy Quin State Park in Mississippi. This event will feature two tournaments, fly tying demonstrations, flycasting instruction, a Casting Skills Challenge, an Iron Fly Tying competition, seminars, a large raffle to benefit the GCC’s education and conservation initiatives, and possibly more!
While the Big Bream Contest will again take place on Lake Tangipahoa inside the state park, the GCC Events Committee is considering extending the boundaries of Saturday’s Classic to include Lake Okhissa, one of the premier bass fisheries in the South.
PQSP has nearly two dozen cabins and several motel rooms available for daily rental, as well as top-notch RV facilities, and tent campsites. PLEASE book ASAP as weekend rental of cabins are very popular in Spring. There are also numerous motels and restaurants in nearby McComb, roughly five miles from the park entrance.
More details will be coming in the weeks ahead on our Classic web page (see top menu). Also, an iAngler registration website will be up this fall.
